######################################### # # Database configuration # ######################################### ## ## Database configuration with separate parameters. ## This setting is MANDATORY, unless 'database_url' is used. ## db: user: kemal password: {{ secret "db_password" }} host: db port: 5432 dbname: invidious ## ## Database configuration using a single URI. This is an ## alternative to the 'db' parameter above. If both forms ## are used, then only database_url is used. ## This setting is MANDATORY, unless 'db' is used. ## ## Note: The 'database_url' setting allows the use of UNIX ## sockets. To do so, remove the IP address (or FQDN) and port ## and append the 'host' parameter.
